Hi. I'm new here. I am having the same issue. I'm 13 days post op and I can barely get my protein in. Clear liquids go down a lot easier but it feels heavy and tight when I drink my protein drinks, pudding, oatmeal, etc. I even get some pain and tightening with clear liquids like water, jello, freezies, etc. I'm getting frustrated and I worry about getting my 66 grams of protein in a day.
Hi. I'm new here. I had surgery on July 4th. I had gas pain so badly in my shoulders that I just started sleeping in my bed a few days ago. My first few days home I had to sleep in a lazy boy chair. My back hurts and I use a heating pad constantly.
